Something Perfect...

So, a couple of weeks ago Sam and I bought a book by Michael McLean about adoption. It has 6 different songs on it that give the perspective of the birthmother, her family, the adoptive couple, and the child. There was one called "The Gift we Could Not Give Each Other" and there is this one. As I was sitting here listening to the songs, this one struck me like nothing else as I looked into the perfect little eyes of my son...


Something Perfect

There's an ache that's missing today
There's an emptiness that's been filled
There's a cloud that's lifting and drifting away
There's a ragin' storm that's been stilled
There's a joy that's real
There's a wound that's finally healed
There's a future replacing the past
There's breath of new life in the cast

And there's something perfect happening here
And this moment will bury the mountains of fears
And through countless tomorrows
It won't disappear
This something that's perfect
Happening here

No one knows, so no one can say
That tomorrow all will be well
Will the brightest promise that shines on today
Shine tomorrow? No one can tell
But one thing is sure
And will be forever more
When such unselfish love has been given
The world just made more room for heaven

And there's something perfect happening here
And this moment will bury the mountains of fear
And through countless tomorrows it won't disappear
This something that's perfect
Happening here
